Losing Battles |
Lost man sining for his soul |
I saw it on Rio Bravo |
He held the notes like rock and roll |
And told his tale to Colorado |
I gave up my only twin |
I turned my face to the world of shadows |
Sometimes the righteous win |
Most times, it’s a losing battle |
Swam naked in the mythic lake |
Spent the night on the face of the earth |
From the apple tree, I ripped a snake |
It was a poison but I knew of its worth |
Kept it in a box of wood |
Fed it all my sins and apples |
Tried to do the things I should |
Till then, it’s a losing battle |
It’s always been in my nature to be the beast |
Blame the maker but stay with me |
Drifted down to Tennessee |
Lost my heart to a girl of silver |
She was trying to be free |
There was nothing to forgive her |
By the time the fever broke |
I’d had enough of trouble |
That’s when trouble spoke |
Sometimes, it’s a losing battle |
It’s always been in my nature to be the beast |
Blame the maker but stay with me |
Fell into a den of thieves |
Got lost in the caves of virtue |
Born again and lost belief |
Without a friend till the day I met you |
Now I’m trying to mend my ways |
I had enough of pain and bad will |
Good enough for you someday |
Till then, it’s a losing battle |
